Total orders worth Rs 75 crore

Siemens announced that the Company is modernizing the power distribution grids of the cities of Amritsar, Jallandhar, Ludhiana, Dehradun, and Faridabad in northern India. The objective of these projects is to improve the quality and availability of the power supply to residents as well as to reduce the downtimes in the event of blackouts in the entire grid. As part of the modernization, Siemens will implement its Spectrum Power network control system and equip the grid with SCADA/DMS functions (Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition/Distribution Management System) for monitoring and control. The customers are three utility companies, Punjab State Power Corporation, Uttarakhand Power Corporation, and Dakshin Haryana Bijli Vitran Nigam. The volume of the orders amounts to a total of approximately Rs. 75 crore. In these projects, Siemens network control technology will be used as part of an energy development program sponsored by the Indian government.
